All That Was Left Behind

"Uhm...You'll get hurt!"

She kept going.

"C'mon, Applejack!! Don't interfere!!" Big Mac gave up.

She kept walking.

She went to the side of the kitchen, and peeked slightly inside. She saw her father with a knife behind him. Applejack gasped.

"No! We are not sellin' our farm!" Her mom said.

"Excuse me? I want to sell it, and if I don't get what I want, you know what happens." Her father threatened, sliding the knife into his hoof.

"Ya wouldn't!" Her mother gasped.

"Oh, but I would." Her father smiled.

Applejack's eyes slammed shut, trying not to remember that day. She saw what he did to her mother, and she wanted revenge.

It was Nightmare Night, and Twilight, Rarity, and Sweetie Belle were waiting for her and Applebloom.

"C'mon, Applebloom!!" Applejack slightly yelled.

"Ah'm a-comin', AJ!!" Applebloom said as Applejack heard thumping hoovesteps down the stairs.

"Ready, Applebloom?" Applejack asked, flashing her a smile.

"Yep!! All ready!!" Applebloom smiled back.

"Okay, then. Let's go." Applejack opened the door as Applebloom went out and greeted her friends.

"Applejack, you aren't dressing up?" Twilight asked.

"Nah. Didn't feel like it." Applejack said.

"Okay..." Twilight said, a little unsure.

"Hehehe....Anyways....what are y'all plannin' to do tonight?" Applejack awkwardly asked.

"Oh, well, we were planning to go to Sugar Cube Corner for the Nightmare Night Party Pinkie Pie throws every year." Rarity said. "Oh, okay. First, Applebloom needs to come with us." Applejack said as Applebloom turned around. "Whaa? Ooo!! Are we goin' to Pinkie's Nightmare Night Party?" Applebloom asked eagerly.

"Yea, ah guess so." Applejack said. "Yay!!" The CMCs shouted. "Of course." Rarity said, as the six of them walked to Sugar Cube Corner.

When they entered, the shop was Nightmare-ified.

"Welcome to my PARTY!!" Pinkie Pie screamed excitedly, jumping in the air. "Hey gurlllsss!!! Whatcha doinggggggggggggggggg?!" Pinkie said, super excitedly, this time bringing her friends into a tight hug. "RAAAARRRRWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!I'm a Werewolf!!!! Did ya notice????!!!! Huh? HUH?!?!?!" Pinkie squealed and jumped around in a circle.

"Yea, technically, we all noticed." Twilight giggled.

"Hey,AJ? Can we go over there?" Applebloom asked, indicating with her hoof where she wanted to go.

"Okay, Applebloom. But please be careful." Applejack said.

"Ah'll be fine, AJ!! No need to worry!!" Applebloom smiled and ran off with her friends.

"Applejack, is everything okay? You have been over-protecting Applebloom for a while now." Rarity said.

Twilight nodded her head to show that she agreed.

"Its nothin'. Ah-its complicated. I'll tell y'all later." Applejack said, as she heard a scream.

"APPLEJACK!!!" Pinkie screamed as Applejack snapped out of her dreams.

"Huh?" Applejack said.

"Applejack, is everything alright? You've been day dreaming a lot for the last couple of weeks." Twilight said, a look of concern on her face.

"Uh, ya.Everythin's been fine." Applejack lied, plastering a fake smile on her face.

"Okay, AJ. If you need anything, anything at all, let us know." Twilight said, noticing Applejack's expression.

"YEAH!!!!WE'RE HERE TO HELP ANYTIME!!!!!!!" Pinkie shouted, hugging Applejack.

Applejack smiled for real this time. She knew she could trust her friends- could she?

After the party, Applejack, Applebloom, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity, and Sweetie Belle walked around Ponyville.

Applejack, trying hard to forget about what happened earlier but couldn't, forced a smile on her face. She couldn't lie...just couldn't. It was hard for her to do so, being the element of honesty and all. She's been really acting strange, and even Applejack herself doesn't know why.

"So, Applejack. Need help with anything?" Pinkie smiled.

Applejack rolled her eyes, knowing Pinkie was trying to get somthing out of her.

"No."

"NOw?"

"No."

"NO-"

Thank Celestia Rarity cut Pinkie off.

"I am pretty sure she doesn't need any help, right?" Rarity smiled.

"Right." Applejack lied, taking a deep breath. She just did it again. They were at Sweet Apple Acres, finally. They've been walking for hours. "Ah've gotta go. It was nice goin' with y'all to the party." Applejack smiled, motioning for Applebloom to go inside.

"Okay then. Goodbye, Applejack." Twilight smiled, waving good bye as Applejack walked into the house.

"I really do think something is going on with her." Rarity said as her and Sweetie Belle walked off to the boutique.

Twilight shrugged and followed them.

"Uh, AJ?? What's goin' on?" Applebloom asked, staring at her.

"Nothin' , why?" Applejack asked, confused.

"You're glowin'." Applebloom said as Applejack looked around her.

" So ah am." Applejack said, as some random gust of wind flew by her and there was a bright light.

"Applejack? Applejack?? Wake up." Twilight said as Applejack's eyes opened.

" Huh?? Whaa?? How in the-" Applebloom cut Applejack off.

"There was a huge light and ya passed out so ah didn't know what to do so I got Twilight." Applebloom said kinda quickly, a worried look on her face.

"Ah'm fine, Applebloom." Applejack said as she stood up, feeling a little dizzy.

"Um.. then explain what the costume is about." Twilight said as Applejack looked at her hooves and up.

"What in tarnation?! Twi??!!" Applejack said.

"It wasn't me!!! I swear!!!" Twilight said.

"Really?" Applejack laughed.

"Really!" Twilight said.
